Do you want to give back to your local community by representing indigent or other needy clients? Believe it or not, some states won't allow you to do so (e.g., if you are not locally-licensed, even though the rules permit to provide legal advice to your employer). And, even if a state does allow you to practice pro bono, you still need to keep in mind a whole host of ethical and practical issues, such as confidentiality and client loyalty, avoidance of conflicts and whether or not you should purchase malpractice insurance. Composed of in-house lawyers who have faced these challenges, this panel will explore current pro bono practice and ethics rules, how and where those rules are changing and what you can do to make sure you and your law department are in compliance.

This panel will review the legal components of disaster planning and disaster response, focusing on legal challenges that companies face in planning for disasters, ensuring continuation of operations in the face of disasters, and securing government assistance, regulatory relief, and insurance recovery in the wake of such disasters.
